Flora : To me, Biscotti looks just so ordinary and well, ain't they used in salads? But then, this is a basic recipe and so you can easily change by coating them with caramel or adding other ingredients like chocolate chips, cranberries or other dried fruits and nuts (refer to Terry's Instructions above step no. 5 : Stir in: nuts, zest's, cocoa or other flavorings) to make it your very own biscotti gift.
